HOT TIP for 2026!!
You have all the power you need to control your future health predictions. It all starts with what you choose to put in your grocery bag.
Make 2026 about eating real food, most of the time, regardless of your weight, size, waist line, current health concerns. Your body & mind will reward you for it!

I'm showing my age here, but when I was in high school the 'old' pyramid was the nutrition guide of the time (6-11 serves of breads and cereals/day!). In this time our country has seen rising levels of obesity and type 2 diabetes, as a result of this 'science' and the ultra processed foods that have been normalised as healthy options and currently still are by our government in public hospitals (I have a menu to prove it, with a smiley face next to bread, 'margarine' and artificial sweeteners).
This pyramid was constructed by a lady who was working for Kellogg's cereal company in America at the time. 'Trust the Science', with no bias or invested interest, I'm sure'!!!
The pyramid became a circle in the 2000's, yet still promoted a similar message, just different shape. I know from an education perspective, there is a new 'shape' on it's way in Australia. Let's hope that Australia follows in the foot steps of America, with their 'new' pyramid. Finally placing real food at the top, emphasing the key importance of protein in the diet, accepting full fat dairy and acknowledging that some people need a low carb diet. While their new pyramid is a general guide, and I have not had a chance to read all the information that comes along with it, it is a great place to start for everyone, while acknowledging that personization still matters.

Detox Part 2.

On a hot day like today, hydration is so important but how much water should we be drinking and why is drinking enough water important??

Is it 8 glasses, 2 litres, drink to thirst? There are so many suggestions of what it should be!!

There are many factors to consider including gender, work environment, amount of exercise, age, health conditions. As a general rule, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends that women get a total of about 2.7L (11 cups) and men get about 3.7 L (16 cups) per day of fluid from drinks and food. Foods especially fruits and salad items contain water too.
Water is important to assist the kidneys in removing metabolic wastes from your blood and eliminating them from your body.
Water also assists with bowel regularity and helps prevent constipation (along with enough fibre in the diet).

Ultimately water assists in the elimination of metabolic waste products that we don't want recycling in the body.

Cheers to warmer weather and more water!

Coriander- love it or hate it?
Apparently our genes determine this. Some people describe it as tasting like soap, others describe it as a parsely/citrus flavour combo!
I don't mind coriander. I add a little bit to salads and it is a must in a good pad thai dish!
According to various studies coriander is a great heavy metal chelator, assisting removal of heavy metals from the body.

Onions, garlic and brocolli contain sulphur, which assists the pathways in the liver to support detoxification.
